senator to take so conspicuous position
as that assigned to Senator Davis OF Min

ing that OF governor, and in all he honor
ed himself by serving we'll and capably.
He was q soldier in the civil war, and
knows the soldiers want and desires. His
appointment is q good one for while he
will regard the interests Of the country, he
believes in a liberal policy toward the vet
